Master the Markets: Taking a Professional Approach to Trading & Investing by Using Volume Spread Analysis
Master the Markets is a Fascinating Insight into the Secret World of the Professional Operators and How They Manipulate You into Making the Wrong Decisions in Your Investing and Trading. This book will be a startling revelation to most readers. It lifts the lid on what is really happening in the financial markets and how you are tricked into buying or selling at the wrong time. Newspapers, magazines and television newscasters will always appear to give authoritative statements about the latest moves on the stock market.
Nearly 90% of traders who enter the stock market lose money. This book explains why price moves occur and how to recognise the underlying forces at work in the stock market. You will soon see how you can select stocks that will provide immediate gains. The good news is that these same tactics will also help you to time your entry (or exit) in the futures markets.
Introduction:
Every working day, billions of dollars exchange hands in the world’s stock markets, financial futures and currency markets. Trading these markets is by far the largest business on the planet. And yet, if you were to ask the average businessman or woman why we have bull markets or why we have bear markets, you will receive many opinions.
The average person has absolutely no idea what drives the financial markets. Even more surprising is the fact that the average trader doesn’t understand what drives the markets either! Many traders are quite happy to blindly follow mechanical systems, based on mathematical formulas that have been back-tested over 25 years of data to ‘prove’ the system’s predictive capacity. However, most of these traders have absolutely no idea whatsoever as to the underlying cause of the move. These are intelligent people. Many of them will have been trading the financial markets, in one way or another, for many years. A large number of these traders will have invested substantial amounts of capital in the stock market.
So, despite financial trading being the largest business in the world, it is also the least understood business in the world. Sudden moves are a mystery, arriving when least expected and appearing to have little logic attached to them. Frequently, the market does the exact opposite of a trader’s intuitive judgement. Even those who make their living from trading, particularly the brokers and the pundits, whom you would expect to have a detailed knowledge of the causes and effects in their chosen field, very often know little about how the markets really work.
It is said that up to 90% of traders are on the losing side of the stock market. So perhaps many of these traders already have the perfect system to become very successful – all they need to do is trade in the opposite direction to what their gut feeling tells them! More sensibly, this book will be able to help you trade intuitively, but in a way a professional does. Below is a brief series of questions – as an experiment, see if you can answer any of them:
- Why do we have bull markets?
- Why do we have bear markets?
- Why do markets sometimes trend strongly?
- Why do the markets sometimes run sideways?
- How can I profit from all of these movements?
If you can answer these questions with confidence you do not need to read this book. If on the other hand you cannot, do not worry because you are not alone, and you will have the answers by the time you have reached the end of the book.

The book is not bad… I have studied it several times, if I didn’t think it was good I would have left it aside… its pros: it’s Tom Williams explaining his thing… in the world we have Elliot giving his name to his thing, Wyckoff did the same… but this man said that he went from giving his name to the subject and I call it VSA, that’s already a point that deserves praise (it’s possible that it was also marketing to sell his platform, which I’m sure you’ll notice).
cons: it’s very repetitive… repetitive to death… it really explains 5 things repeated over and over again… but well… there’s not much more to put out at the volume that we know.
On the other hand, there is the subject of translation… your head will hurt sometimes because words like supply and demand are repeated until satiety and several times the translator messes with himself and ends up placing one word where the other one should be… and that will make you have to stop and reread the entire page… the good thing about that is that you make sure you understand what the book is telling you.
Summary: if like me you buy all the decent trading books because you love this world, you have to have this book… if, on the other hand, you are only looking for direct and precise training… buy a good one about Wyckoff and there you should find the 5 ideas that are explained in master the markets…

Basic concepts for trading with classic volume, although the entire book refers to a program that gives signals to trade, the basis for trading with volume is rescued.
